Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, some parts of our hiring process may take a little longer than usual. Please bear with us, and rest assured that we're happy to hear from you and receive your application. If it looks like you could be a good fit for the role, we'll ask you to interview on Zoom - you'll need WiFi and a laptop, or a 4G-enabled smartphone. Technology. Award-winning customer service. Bleeding-edge data ability. Simply Business is a new type of insurance company, using all of the above to create the best possible insurance experience for small businesses and self-employed people. We love working here, and have even taken the number one spot in the Sunday Times Best Company To Work For 2015 and 16 lists; we've stopped entering now to focus on a few bigger projects, but you get the idea. It's a great place to work. There are currently over 500,000 active Simply Business insurance policies in the UK alone. And we have offices in London, Northampton and Boston, USA. Talking of offices, ours are bright, airy and geared up for really smart working. We're flexible, with plenty of remote workers coming in and out, and we believe work and life should be hand in hand, rather than a juggling act. So no need to worry about school pick-ups or a horrible commute. Our people are our most important asset, so we focus on building a working life that helps us thrive, not stick. We're proud of our inclusive and supportive culture, and we're passionate about creating an environment where everyone's cultural backgrounds, skills, and perspectives are valued.

There's all the serious (but important) stuff we call 'core benefits'. On top of that, you can pick and choose from the more exciting options we offer - whether it's a full gym membership or gym subsidy, comprehensive private health cover, extra holiday, or a National Trust pass. The 'core' stuff Some of these will kick in once you're confirmed in post, but here's the summary: • a salary that reflects your experience, our pay policy and the market we're in from your first day, generous annual leave • life assurance (financial cover for your family, should the worst happen) • a cash plan to reimburse your everyday medical expenses • an extra day off if you get married or move house • an automatic enrollment pension (employer-matched at 5%) The fun stuff We also have a great deal more to pick and mix from, with things like: • a full gym membership • private medical insurance • extra days annual leave • shopping vouchers • dental insurance • travel insurance But there's so much more to Simply Business than insurance and memberships. We also commit to flexible working options, smart working (our offices are kitted out for you to work when and how you choose), cycle to work, eye test vouchers, and season ticket loan schemes, and we have a handy online form to put in any training or conference requests. Best of all, though, are the groups, clubs, and adventures that come with the Simply Business territory. Forget a simple Give As You Earn scheme (although we've got that too) - we trek the Sahara for charity, take you on weekends away, throw epic summer parties, and meet up for book groups, public speaking coaching, yoga, manicures, beer brewing, and lots, lots more. Our values Everything we do comes down to these five values - empowerment, authenticity, simplicity, learning and pioneering. In practice, these will mean something unique to every person at Simply Business, but if you're considering working here, give them some thought. They're at the heart of our story. Empowerment We're trusted to get the right stuff done in the way that suits us best Authenticity We respect the uniques skills and perspective that everyone has Simplicity If we can make it simpler, we do, and if we can't then we explain it so everyone can understand Learning We're always learning, developing and improving, and helping others do the same Pioneering We lead with purpose and make things happen
